Share Sponsored Jobs on Indeed and Glassdoor

You can sponsor jobs on Indeed and Glassdoor in two ways, depending on where your job posting was created:

  • Option 1: Sponsor a job that was published from Trakstar Hire.
  • Option 2: Create a paid posting directly on Indeed using a Trakstar Hire trackable application link.

Choose the workflow that matches your situation.


Option 1: Sponsor a Job Published from Trakstar Hire

Before You Begin

Before starting a sponsored campaign, verify that:

  • Indeed + Glassdoor is enabled under Settings > Job Posts Settings.
  • Your company email address has been added to your Company Profile.


Connect Your Indeed Account

  1. Contact your Indeed Account Executive.
  2. Ask them to connect your Indeed employer account to the jobs published from your Trakstar Hire account.
  3. Once the connection is complete, you can sponsor your published openings.

Email Template

You can send the following message to your Indeed Account Executive:

Hello,

I would like to sponsor jobs posted on my career site through my ATS, Trakstar Hire. Please link my account [client email address associated with Indeed account] with the openings posted from [Hire account name] on Trakstar Hire's XML feed.

Thank you.

Option 2: Sponsor a Job Created Directly on Indeed

If you're creating the sponsored posting directly in Indeed, you can still route applicants into Trakstar Hire using a trackable application link.

  1. Go to Openings.
  2. Select the opening.
  3. Open the Candidate Sources tab.
  4. Copy the Application Link URL.
  1. Select Share a trackable link.
  2. Enter a source name (for example, Indeed).
  3. Click Copy trackable link.

The generated URL includes a source parameter such as:

?source=Indeed

Important: The source is only saved after you click Copy trackable link.

Before using an external application link, you must have:

  • An Indeed employer account.
  • External application links enabled by your Indeed Account Executive.

Then:

  1. Create a paid job posting in Indeed.
  2. When asked How would you like candidates to apply?, select via an external site.
  3. Paste your Trakstar Hire trackable application link.

Applicants will complete your Trakstar Hire application, be added to your account, and be tracked using the source specified in the link.
